A shielded electrical connector includes a shield terminal attachment segment having a tubular first portion defining a first seam and second portion having two semicircular channels that extends from the first portion oriented at a right angle to the first axis, an inner insulator disposed within the shield terminal attachment segment, and a shield terminal connection segment having a tubular third portion and a second seam formed separately from the shield terminal attachment segment and attached to the shield terminal attachment segment such that the third portion is coaxial with the first portion. Edges of the first seam and edges of the two semicircular channels are joined by the attachment of the shield terminal connection segment to the shield terminal attachment segment. A method of forming the shielded electrical connector is also provided.

Right angled coaxial electrical connector and method of forming same

A tool configured to form four evenly spaced indentations having an indentation radius and four evenly spaced projections about a circumference of a generally cylindrical seamless ferrule having a ferrule radius. Each projection of the four projections has a projection height equal to or less than a height threshold. The tool includes four crimping dies. Each crimping die of the four crimping dies defines a concave crimping surface having the indentation radius. The tool also includes four limiting dies. Each limiting die is located intermediate two adjacent crimping dies of the four crimping dies. Each limiting die defines a limiting surface that is configured to limit a height of each projection to the height threshold.
